Shannon Bartlett-Smith - Tall Mug - White/Blue
Handcrafted by Shannon Bartlett-Smith, this tall terracotta mug is finished with a thin white glaze and a distinctive blue rim. The piece is fired at a high temperature, just beyond the conventional range for earthenware, pushing the clay to the threshold of stoneware. This firing technique enhances both the durability of the vessel and the depth of the glaze, resulting in a refined, functional form with lasting character. Made in Cornwall, the mug reflects a studio-based approach to contemporary British ceramics, combining traditional materials with thoughtful craftsmanship.
